SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 2 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
María Oruña, one of the most successful writers in the field of crime fiction, stars this Monday in a new activity in the Criminal Dialogues: Total black look cycle, within the Literature is Feminine 2023 initiative, organized by the Association’s project Cultural ‘The Research and Innovation Laboratory in Architecture, Urbanism, Design and Advanced Tourism’.
Oruña participates in a meeting with the crime novelist Dulce Xerach, this Monday at 6:00 p.m. at the Real Casino de Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Admission is free, until the maximum capacity is reached. This project is possible thanks to the support and help of the Cabildo de Tenerife and the Canarian Institute of Cultural Development.
Thus continues the cycle that began last March with the Gastro Brunch noir with the author Yanet Acosta, which is now joined by the writer María Oruña (Vigo, 1976), who has set her successful series of novels ‘Los libros del Puerto Hidden’, published in Destino. Composed by ‘Puerto escondido’ (2015); ‘A place to go’ (2017); ‘Where we were invincible’ (2018); and ‘What the tide hides’ (2021), in all these mystery stories the protagonists are the Cantabrian landscapes and the team of Lieutenant Valentina Redondo. ‘The path of fire’ is the new installment in the series, which moves to Scotland for the first time.
Oruña is also the author of ‘The forest of the four winds’ (2020), her first independent book in the saga, set in her native Galicia. Her novels have been translated into German, French, Italian and Catalan, among other languages.
The Dialogue will be led by the director of the project and writer of the police saga, María Anchieta.
Dulce Xerach (Tenerife, 1969), writer, lawyer and PhD in Architecture, is the author of four crime novels: ‘Robbery in Sao Paulo’, ‘Murder on a London beach’, ‘Kidnapping in Hong Kong’ and ‘Death in the Venice Biennale’. She has been translated into Portuguese, English and Italian. All of her novels are based on true events and the real cities in which she lives while writing, intermingling detective fiction and reality.
Literature is Feminine 2023 is a project focused on accelerating equality in literary matters, which has maintained a continuity of development since 2016 under the common umbrella called ‘Culture is Feminine’ and which stems from a previous project, ‘Why culture matters’, where in 2016 the event dedicated to literature was organized for the first time, celebrating its eighth edition in 2023.
“With this initiative we seek to modernize and innovate the publishing industry in equality, through face-to-face meetings, the use of technological means and the generation of new cultural digital content. Its purpose is to innovate in the publishing industry, advancing in the achievement of real equality and effective, and that mixes actions from other disciplines and creative sectors with literature: the audiovisual, plastic and visual arts, graphic design, and other new multimedia creative genres that are related to the empowerment of the literary”, says Dulce Xerach from the organization.
